Heavy users of this project can run into the danger of getting blocked / throttled or soft banned from YouTube. Symptoms might not be obvious and the error messages cryptic. Users have reported messages and behavior like:
- `Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community.`
- `Playlists that require authentication may not extract correctly without a successful webpage download` but you aren't downloading a private playlist, a sign that YouTube is blocking your requests behind authentication.
- `Requested format is not available. Use --list-formats for a list of available formats` but your download format is valid, a sign that yt-dlp can't extract available streams because your request gets blocked.
- `Got error: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden` a generic HTTP message that YouTube is blocking your request.
